Laundry On 4WD land adventures, hand-washing facilities are available at each of our wilderness lodges (however, washing is not encouraged at Bungle Bungle Wilderness Lodge due to water conservation principles). In larger centres such as Darwin, Kununurra, Broome, Cairns, Adelaide, Alice Springs and Perth hotels feature coin-operated washing machines and dryers. Our expedition ships have laundry facilities available and price lists are available in your suite. Library Both MS Caledonian Sky and Le Laperouse have a collection of books and games available for guests to borrow free of charge. Luggage As a general rule, airlines permit passengers in economy class to take one piece of luggage that does not exceed 160cm (63 inches), or weigh more than 20kg (44 pounds). We advise you to contact your airline carrier or travel agent for specific information prior to departure, as size and weight limitations may vary. Due to the size of AWD vehicles and strict regulations for vehicle weight, there is limited luggage capacity. Please pack your required items into one small bag (no hard suitcases) weighing no more than 16kgs. Alternatively, suitcases are acceptable if they fit within the following dimensions of 66cm length x 35cm width x 32cm height. APT duffle bags are available, enquire for more details. If you have excess luggage. please arrange for it to be stored at your hotel if returning to it post tour or organise for it to be forwarded to the tour's final destination (at own expense). Each guest is entitled to take one piece of luggage on your cruise that does not exceed the above specifications. p Passports & Visas If you are travelling aboard our expedition ships, we recommend that you have a valid passport with at least six months’ validity from the return date. It is your responsibility to ensure these are obtained prior to departure. No visas are required for Australian and New Zealand passport holders. Live Fully t Travel Insurance Travel insurance is mandatory on all cruises and highly fecommended on all land tours. Purchase comprehensive cover for any unforeseen circumstances that may arise on tour or before leaving home (this includes cover for any cancellation penalties, remote evacuation, medical and curtailment expenses, loss of luggage, etc.). w Weather May through to September are the best months to travel through the outback as it is mostly winter time in Australia, however, it is the dry season for the tropical regions of Cape York, Northern Territory and the Kimberley. In South Australia and outback Queensland, the temperatures are more moderate in the winter time and you won't feel the scorching heat of the summer. For our Western Australia coastal tours, the best time to travel coincides with the famous wildflower season. Wildflowers are best viewed between the Pilbara and Perth after good rainfall from the beginning of July through to October. The Kimberley region is characterised by both a tropical and monsoonal climate, which can be divided into two seasons — a wet season and a dry season. The dry season (May to October) will be mild to warm during the day, although temperatures can drop significantly to be very cold at night. From June to August, the days are fine and warm with cold nights (average maximum 29 degrees Celsius). Inland conditions at night can drop to below zero degrees Celsius. Rainfall is rare. We recommend layering clothing in the evenings when travelling during this time of year. z Zodiacs Zodiacs are versatile, inflatable boats, which provide a unique platform for observing wildlife and enjoying landscapes from sea level, enabling you to get closer to the sights. They provide a fast and safe way of going ashore in remote locations and are invaluable for exploration. The Details 99
